Of course, there are very few people living in shallow sea or harbor waters. They belong to leatherback turtle family, leatherback turtle genus and leatherback turtle species, which are typical turtles and common turtles in China.
Leatherback turtles belong to temperature-changing animals, and they can adjust their temperature by their own constitution. No matter where they originate, they can maintain their body temperature as long as the water temperature is between 7 and 25 ℃. If the temperature is relatively high, they will increase the blood flow to the end, so that they can quickly dissipate heat.
